CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
As managers we negotiate every day both internally, with fellow managers, team members and employees, and externally, with a variety of stakeholders including customers, partners and suppliers. To be effective negotiators, we need to possess the necessary analytical skills to effectively prepare for a negotiation, as well as the essential negotiation skills to persuade others to accept and implement our ideas. The aim of this intensive course is to help students understand the theory and processes of negotiation and to develop the practical skills necessary to negotiate successfully in a variety of contexts. The course will provide students with a toolkit of useful negotiation approaches, strategies and skills based on the interest-based Principled or Mutual Gains Approach to negotiation, and give students the opportunity to develop skills experientially through numerous negotiation exercises and simulations.
